Captain Marvel's Fighting Abilities

Captain Marvel gets his powers from Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury. They give him wisdom, strength, stamina, power, courage and speed. These powers are awesome and they set Cap apart from all other heroes. But did you ever wonder where Captain Marvel learned how to fight? How did he attain his master fighting skills that allow him to dispatch evil doers and enemies? The answer to those questions is found in Captain Marvel Adventures #144. Captain Marvels fearsome fighting skills come from Achilles!Sivana has unleashed a huge monster to defeat Captain Marvel. Cap's indomitable courage allows him to fearlessly face this beast. However, it is the great fighting skills he gets from Achilles that allows him to make a monkey out of Sivana's gigantic gorilla!

While Shazam's six gods bestow great powers upon Captain Marvel, they also give him great skills as well, as evidenced by Captain Marvel's fighting abilities!
